MIR. John Bright, writing to Secretary

Is one of the deputation going to the United

Cleveland In favor Of the establishment of

There Is talk of permanent arbitration

discussion may lead to its adoption If
the government of the United States were

to such treaty there is force of good

Mr.. Gladstone, speaking at Hawarden

could not help themselves. From individ-
ual personal experience he knew that
Queen Victoria had given willing, hearty
and active consent to all beneficial
changes and had made herself the
prime benefactor Of the country.

Ireland.

DUBLIN, Aug 3O.-The evictions of the
O'GradY estate, at Herbertstown, began
today. The bailiffs were reinforced by one
bundled soldiers and 300 policemen. All
the houses occupied by tenants were bar
ricaded and guarded for defence. The
house of Mrs Crimmins was first adj
vanced upon by the bailiffs. The
widow and her friends were well armed
with paving stones and boiling water, and
both were showered upon the bailiffs with
such telling effect that they were repulsed
four times. The sheriff's men, in their at
tacks, attempted to crow bar their way
through the walls, and so often Mrs. Grim
mings had scalding water to pour over
them. After the fourth repulse of the
bailiffs the police attempted to storm the
house. They also were driven back. A
rush was made by the bailiffs and police
and house was broken into and captured.
1t was found that the defenders were but
nine persons, five men and four women |
All were taken prisoners The prisoners
when led out sang "God save Ireland -

VIM. OBrien, editor of United Ireland, |

of the league against which the govern
ment should issue proclamation would |
hold its meeting with closed doors and re-
fuse to open them for police even if they
demanded admittance This would leaye
the police nothing to do but break their
way in If they were determined to enter.
As the police would probably re-
sort to this violence, the central branch of
the league would then ask the lord
mayor to grant them the use of the city hall
with special police to defend 1t during the
league meetings therein. a majority of

Grandfather Watts Private Fourth.
BY II. O. BuNNER


Grandfather Watts used to tell us boys
That Fourth want Fourth without any
noise.
He would say, with thump of his hickory
stick,
That It made an American right down sick
To see his sons on the Nations Day
Sit around In sort of listless way,
With no oration and no trainband,
No firework show and no root-beer stand,
While his grandsons, before they were out
of bibs,
Were ashamed-great scottl-to FIRE of
squibs.
And so each Independence morn
Grandfather Watts took his powder-horn.
And the fint-lock shotgun his father had
When he fought under Schuyler, country
lad,
And Grandfather Watts would start and
tramp
Ten miles to the woods at Beaver Camp;
For Grandfather Watts usec to say-and
scowl-
That decent chipmonk or woodchuck or
owl
Was better company, friendly or shy,
Than folks who didn't keep Fourth of July;
And so he would pull his hat down on his
brow
And march for the woods, sou'east by SOU,
But once--ah long, long years ago:
For Grandfathers gone where good men
One hot, hot Fourth, by ways of our own,
Such short cuts as boys have always known,
We hurried and followed the dear old man
Beyond where the wilderness began,
To the deep black woods at the foot of the
Hump,
And there was clearing and stump
A stump in the heart of great wide wood;
And there on that stump our grandfather
Talking and shouting out there in the sun,
And firing that funny old fint-lock gun
Once in minute, his head all bare,
Having his Fourth of July out there
The Fourth of July he used to know
Back in eighteen-and-twentyo or SO.
First, with his face to the heavens blue,
He read the "Declaration" through;
And then, with gestures to left and right,
He made ON Grafton erudite,
Full of words six syllables long;
And then our grandfather broke into so1fg,
And soaring the squirrels in the trees,
Gave "Hail. Columbian to the breeze.
And tell you the old man never heard
When we joined in the chorus, word for
word!
But he sang out strong to the bright blue
sky,
And if voices Joined III his Fourth of July,
He heard them as echoes from days gone
by.
And when he had done, we all slipped back,
AS still as we came, on our twisting track,
While words more clear than the fint.loclS
shots
Rang in our ears.
And Grandfather Watts?
He shouldered the gun his father bore,
And marched off home, no'r'west by nor.

TO ADVERTISERS.
The Free Press Recognized by Geo. p.
ROwen 4 Co., as Ahead as an
Advertising Medium.

The well known advertising agency OF
Geo. T. .Rowell a. Co., of New York City. have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized as authority
az to the matter of newspaper circulation.
In the regular issues Of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently, however, they have issued con-
densed list. II gives only the best newspa-
pers as advertising mediums, and hence is
practically better, because more convenient,
than their larger Directory. Four-ffths of
the newspapers of the United States are
practically "counted out" by intelligent ad'
vertisers, who only want to know the 6est
Hence the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface we'll say; =.
1T sfts the wheat from the chaf. 1t di-
rects the attention of an advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to use,
and tends to intercept portion OF that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power to bene.-
fit which they possess. 1t takes the general
ground, that the best IS the cheapest"
We need scarcely say that on this plan,
the FREE PBEss is given by this book (see
page 15S) as the advertising medium OF San
Marcos and Hays county, it being the only
one on the list. We respectfully invite the
attenti on of advertisers, both ut home and
abroad, to this fact.
